Entertained by Mr Peter Hartley his subject ‘ A ROYAL INTERLUDE ?
Eleven of us set out on a lovely sunny day through the countryside on
an amble to Leeds Castle, known as the loveliest castle in England
Day trip to Eastbourne.
Leaving Barming on a light cloudy morning we made an extended
journey to Eastbourne arriving about lunchtime to find a sunny skies
and a nice sea breeze. We deboarded the coach at the Pier with
instructions to return at 3pm. Everyone then went off to do their own
thing, swimming, paddling, but mostly having lunch or drinks, walking
along the prom or sitting chatting as we do. At 3pm we boarded the
coach and went on to Barngate Manor for a lovely cream tea. A good
journey home. A very good day. Thankyou Mo.
The Committee are looking for members to help with some of the activities
of the club with a view to taking over completely in the future. The areas
of concern are “Day Trips”, and more importantly” Speakers”.
Anyone interested contact the Chairman.
